A correspondent of the Shepherds
town Register, visiting at Harper's
Ferry, says: "The contract for the
machinery of the proposed paper and
pulp mill has been given out. The
contract is that all machinery shall
be delivered at Harper's Ferry by the
first day of July, and is confidently
said that the works will be startedly
up by the first of September. The
pulp mill will be one of the largest in
the world. capable of turning out
forty tons of the finest quality of
wood-pulp daily, and the paper mills
will be of capacity enough to use it all.
There are now between two and three
hundred workmen in Tucker Co., w.
Va, engaged in getting out the wood
from which pulp is made. The mills
when in full operation will employ
between six and seven hundred peo-
pie"

INDIANS BECOMING METROPOLITAN
ACTORS.

AS Mr.. Forepaugh, whose magnifi-
cent show is soon to appear here,
has added the Wild West Show inclu-
ding the thrilling scenes of the IA
nous Custer's Battle, the following
extract from the New York World
will give an approximate idea of how
Indians are capable of becoming some
what metropolitan in their renditions
of savage life on the plains as given
under Mr.. Forepaugh's management
at Madison Square Garden:
Buffalo Bill and his new Wild West
is meeting with decided success in the
Madison Square Garden. The build
ing has been crowded at every per-
Torrance, despite the fact that there
are seats for nearly seven thousand
persons, and hundreds of people have
been turned away nightly. Every
thing now runs along smoothly.
During the first scene an elk escaped
from the primeval forest' and en-
tered the ring. Calmly and with great
dignity the handsome animal survey
ed the white man as he walked away
from the undiscovered land. He
shifted the air and halted in front of
General Sherman. Again he shifted
the air and paused before Mrs. Bel
mont. She raised her glass and he
turned his head toward Congressman
Perry. With promptness only the
result of long practice, the legislator
made motion to adjourn. The elk
seconded the motion and walked away
and paused to contemplate the smiling
face OF Mr.. Arthur Leary. What the
elk would have done is lost in the
depth of speculation, but at that mo-
ment his attention was attracted by a
willy red man, who stealthily ap-
preached him.
Now we will see what the red man
will do" said a pretty little girl,
whose head was full of Deerslayer,
Uncas, The Pathfinder, &c.
This is what the noble red man did.
He crept noiselessly upon the animal.
Suddenly he caught handful of tan
bark and tossed it at the elk, crying
in loud voice, "ShooW The elk
needed him no more than he would a
soft breeze over the prairie. The red
man crept on until within few feet
of the elk, then jumping to his feet
he waved his hands to turn the ami
NAL. What did the elk do! He lower
ed his head, presenting his branching
antlers; and the red man? He lit out
Of that ring as though possessed of
wings, jumping into box. A roar
of laughter assured the elk that he was
master.
The elk is one of the many owned
by Adam Forepaugh, and used by
him in the Wild West department Of
his great travelling show.
Mr.. Forepaugh's Great Show will
visit Martinsburg on Friday, May 6.
bringing with it the same realistic
exhibition as was given in New York
city.

The seventh month of the Wright's
school closed with an enrolment of
thirty; average daily attendance
twenty-one. Those present every day
during the month were Marshal
Ramsburg, Robert Snyder, Samuel
Price, Marvin Snyder, Charles Rey-
nolds, and Harry Snyder.
Messrs. Geo. d. johnson and Thos.
Homar, of our burg have purchased a
traction engine and saw-mill. They
will locate their machine in Mr.. Jas.
Coyle's wood, three miles east of this
place, where we predict they will do
a good business.
Our friend N. r. Roberts of Middle
way has returned from the East with
a large and handsome stock of spring
and summer goods which he has
marked down at bottom prices to meet
the demand Of the hard times. AS a
beginner, with his new home, new
goods and, best of all, new wife, the
outlook for a prosperous future is tru-
ly fiattering.
James f. Watson, of this place, has
received his stock of spring and sum-
mer goods. "Quick sales and small
profit" is his motto, and if you will
only give him call his accommoda-
ting and genial clerk Semore Lands
will verify the adage.
We notice that Mr.. M. Il. Bowen
from the southern end of your county

the part of wisdom for the voters to
support him at the coming election :?
Because of Mr.. John Hess's compe-
tency and the manner he discharged
his duties there has been but little
excitement over the Office Of County
Supt. of School in this county for a
number ofyears. Mr.. H. was his own
successor for some six or seven terms
with but little opposition and had he
lived no doubt he would have been
elected again. But now he is no more,
we predict that there will be full
corps of candidates for the Office. So
far, three have been mentioned among
them we notice the name of Mr..
Emanuel Schaeffer, who, in our hum
BILE judgment, is one of the very best
men in the county for the position.
A. Frank Hess, son of the late John
Hess has been appointed County Supt.
to fill the unexpired term ofhis father.
